The Bar-tender's Guide/Gin and Pine

Gin and Pine.

(Use wine-glass.)

Split a piece of the heart of a green pine log into fine splints, about the size of a cedar lead-pencil, take two ounces of the same and put into a quart decanter, and fill the decanter with gin.

Let the pine soak for two hours, and the gin will be ready to serve.
